Stop the Memphis Housing Authority's plan to demolish Foote Homes! We need to preserve and improve these units and the extraordinary Civil Rights history they represent.
Why is this important?
Memphis is one of the poorest cities in the U.S. There is a desperate shortage of quality affordable housing in our community. Foote Homes offers more than 400 of our poorest families a decent place to live and work in the heart of the city. It was also the site of many of our community's most important Civil Rights activities - a place where Benjamin Hooks, Mavis Staples, and Rufus Thomas and their families lived.
